the word "told").
The little piano fill that introduces the song is
I'm sure you'll figure out this song quite easily ;)
Why not say it like it is
Like you know you should
Before they break your little heart
Ooh, break it good
Feelings on the inside
Never let you down
So why not say it like it is
Even if it don't make your mama proud
Why change your mind when you make it up
Second chances don't come easy, easy for some
Baby I don't know the lock from the key
But I know one of them is you
And the other one's me
So if it's happiness you want
That's what you'll get
You gotta rise up, little sister
Turn on the light
Wise up to the stories you've been told
'Cause love don't come in black or white
No no no no.
My mama tells me I won't get through the pearly gates
'Cause I ain't sorry for my sins
And all my mistakes
Mama I don't know if I'm goin' up or down,
But I know heaven's gonna be one lonely town
But if it's happiness you want,
That's what you'll get
You gotta rise up, little sister
Turn on the light
Wise up to the stories you've been told
'Cause love don't come in black or white
Whoa no no no, whooo no.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh (etc.)
Rise up, little sister
Turn on the light
Wise up to the stories you've been told
Whoaaa yeah
Rise up, little sister
Turn on the light
Wise up to the stories you've been told
'Cause love don't come in black or white
No no, it don't come in black or white
Whooa ooooh
Rise up, open your eyes
Love don't come in black or white
Whoa uh uh, no
Wise up to the stories you've been told
You know, love don't come in black or white
Little sister, you gotta rise up
